============================================================
Very nice tab, you still need to do that riff that starts at 3:40. Otherwise its excellent and sounds right on. 4/5
Thanks Galen38. I'll try to update the tab with the additional part ASAP. I've just updated by This Day We Fight tab, and Bodies tab.
This is good, My rythem guitarist could use this. (As well as I)
I will defenatly stay tuned for the rest of it.
4/5
